A Lutheran minister educated at Augustana Theological Seminary. His home in Rock Island Illinois is now a men's dorm at the same school. He was also on the board of Augusta Hospital Chicago, and founder of Salem Lutheran church in Hyde Park. He was the first cousin to my great grandfather Robert Albin Abrahamsson of Ostra Frolunda Sweden. He sponsored the immigration of my grandmother Lydia and her sister Ruth Abrahamsson (they came through Ellis Island).
